Glenn, << MCI and NSF >> the home page is www.vbns.net. It takes awhile to track through all the menus and sub-menus, but gives a good discription of tomorrows interactive information system. Clearly fiber is the end high speed solution. The NSF is the National Science Foundation, where university research is in the forefront. Government is supplying grants. The end solution will be access by industy and universities to extremely powerful data crunching computers. Ultimately, access by individual users. There's many interesting pieces to the solution. Worth going through when you have an hour or two to spare. What caught my eye was the network players are CSCO,ASND, and FORE. Can't believe COMS and BAY wasn't out there. I know they're into copper solutions, and maybe that's why. There's another related government web site if your interested. I'll post it later. Clearly the government is behind fiber, so that will be my direction also. Larry
